Image & Identity Photography

need to practice, practice and gain more confidence on using the canon 350.

Use manual.....

Image & Identity

Learning outcome:

Improve photography skills – which is ongoing – always learning new things all the time.

Software: Flash – learn how to make slideshow, make portfolio.

Portfolio.

End product – how can be displayed, health and safety issues, how much space got. (Want to have a similar to 3 Dimension to portray my identity e.g. an outline of my body front or back either photography or draw (if draw someone would have to do it for me unless there is another way), put photographs into the body of who I am.) Don’t want this to be like a Muppet?

Need to think of end product, as this is important part of project to able to produce the end product as not want to leave it till the very end of project then cannot do it.

Reading – improve and find to spend more time on reading, and find argument or supported ref to the theory work.

Slide show & Video clips

Have printed out some photos and created slide show using powerpoint and have converted it into movie.

When i insert the movie into slideshow in powerpoint it works fine but when converted it into movie it dosn't seem to work as seems to stop at the movie and stay there till last slide show.

Flash Slideshow

Really need to learn how to create slideshow in flash!

Need a crash course to learn this but this is my learning outcome for next semester as not used flash for long long time this is something need to come back to.
